Default Should I go intake or exhaust?

I'm not sure if I should mod the intake this summer or do Hooker LTs, Mufflex Y, and Hooker cat-back. If I do intake, I'd like to do the FTRA, Pace VV MAF, Baker hose, S2 TB, and LS6 intake. (I already have lid and K&N) The intake route would be slightly cheaper, but money aside, which whould yield more power? I have a flowmaster and a cut out as well.

Well,

If you are doing the converter today then I'd go cam or intake first. The stock exhaust while not great flows pretty well, the LS1's have always had a breathing problem.

Intake route sounds good. After intake completion, get headers.

They all go kinda hand in hand. The intake route is cheaper and thats kinda the way I went. Did my intake stuff first, then went with Headers and catback. Either way, your gaining power.
